Abstract This paper describes a model based optimizer that allows a CHP unit to supply backup power to a Smart Grid on the one hand and minimize the cost for heat and power supply on the other hand. The model of the CHP unit is lean but nevertheless accurately represents the thermal behavior of the storage as well as the aging effect of engine starts. Thanks to the small model dimension we can solve the optimal dispatch problem efficiently using dynamic programming. Two selected soft- and hardware in the loop tests are discussed to demonstrate the performance of the approach.

Smart management of cold thermal energy storages could help future sustainable energy systems drawing large shares of electricity from renewable sources to balance fluctuating generation. This paper introduces a model-based predictive control strategy for cold thermal energy storages. A novel ice storage model for simulating and optimizing partial charge and discharge storage operation is developed and validated. The optimization problem is solved using a Forward Dynamic Programming approach. A case study analysis for a very hot and humid location (Miami) and a rather temperate climate (Los Angeles) and for each four building types (apartment building, hospital, office, and school) reveals that total cost savings of up to 20% compared to conventional control strategies are possible.
